- On November 4th, I got to tag along for the last active day of harvest with the NEXAT system in North America. This machine is still in testing and validation phases and not commercially produced. While the only activity covered in this video is corn harvest, I am hopeful to return to show you guys more of what the NEXAT can do next year.
More information on the NEXAT system can be found at these links:

I grew up in 50s & 60s, with the threshing machines & grain binders. We had a 120 acre farm. My dad was still using horses to plant grain until I was about 5 yrs old. Things have changed alot since I grew up on a farm. I am 75 now.Great memeries.
incredible.
Do you still farming?
these industrial farms have destroyed all the local communities and towns. They don't care about anything but money. A farm the size of 640 acres in the 1970's needed a large family, at least 4 adult males working tirelessly all summer. Now 4 men could manage to farm 50,000 acres. So where did all the thousands people go? To the stinky city and eating all GM food so the mega farms can maximize profit. Disgusting
The farm i currently live pm used horse untill 1973.. then it was closed down. There never been a tractor ar this farm. But a lot of stuff is still here
They better go back to horses.
Been an ag mechanic most of my life - combines, tractors, air drills etc. This concept is awesome! Wish NEXAT all the best.
I'm not sure how long (or if) this concept will become commonplace in North America, but I have great admiration for those who think outside the box (and did they ever).
They've invested a lot into this, and I wish them all the best.
Great video Emma!
That’s incredible! This machine is so advanced! A Farmer could virtually just contract his planting and harvest to a system like this from a Third Party. This would enable many farmers to compete with the Chinese Model and provide a measure of profitability.
Germans are Our Friends Folks. They are fighting the same global problems the USA is…. These People uniquely saw the US Typical Equipment Models and thought about it to advance it beyond the normal expectations…. Please support this new German Company!
Absolutely, let new technology shows us (and the world) the way to make progress go forward.
The German engineering approach has never been afraid of complexity! : )
The German overengineering approach
The Nexat is actually engineered in Ukraine
@@emiltod5099 what makes you say that?
@@emiltod5099 No, he won't. The Nexat was and is developed and built by Nexat GmbH in Rieste, Lower Saxony, Germany a subsidiary of Kalverkamp Maschinenbau GmbH. Due to the large, connected area structures in Ukraine, only the first two prototypes were tested there and are still running there. However, development and construction takes place entirely in Germany.
Include the VAG Tdi???
Oh wow, that was an awesome experience! I've seen these Nexat machines pop up in some of the recommended videos here on YT, but they were always of the ones over in Ukraine. Heard in one of them that they were doing testing in the US, but never thought I'd see a video of it (let alone from Ag with Emma!) :D This was really fun to watch! So thanks to you and the Nexat crew for letting you tag along and show all this off :) Can't wait to see what the next decade brings for these guys!
That's awesome that you were able to check out that machine!👍
I have seen all videos about NEXAT and this one is by far the best one when it comes to fun factor and technical details. Thanks!
This is my first time watching you and I myself am used to a JD as a Grain carter for Eisenbrauns down in Wall SD, and I think its cool to see the Nexat in America especially my state! You should also maybe visit their farm during wheat harvest next year, they have to grain carts and sometimes have trouble finding someone to run the other one.
Hello thanks Emma I've been watching these in Europe for 2 years now amazing to see one made it to the US as a farmer here I think it's great I sure would like to demo one and it will be a long time before farms become fully autonomous way too many variables.
What an amazing piece of machinery! Good to hear comments from the guys from across the “pond” also! Great video!
I watched this machine on TH-cam about a year or so ago. Very happy to see that it's in the United States. It's Very neet that you were able to document this machine. You witnessed and experienced what the future holds for the processes of getting field work done. 👍 So cool.
The engineers put allot of thought into this design. Wow and more wow! Hats off to them!
Combines are already incredibly expensive. Can’t imagine what one of these things will go for
You did a awesome job Emma ! Very interesting!
Really impressive, thankyou for showing Emma. 👍🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸
First time watching you, I don't work in ag, but that was fascinating. Thank you for sharing that experience with us!
I always understood the name "combine" to be short for "combined header and harvester". Back in the day, the wheat was harvested and stacked into stooks. Then a machine came along to head the stalks, removing the stalk and husks. This used to be two distinct operations. Now, the operations (plus others) are "combined" into a single process
Close. In the days of steam and early gasoline power, the threshing was done at a stationary machine powered by a steam traction or big gas powered tractor. There was a machine called a binder that cut the wheat green, and tied it into shocks. Those were stacked up in piles about 5 to 7 shocks at a time where they dried. They then came back with wagons, piled the shocks on the wagon, and hauled them to the threshing machine where the grain was separated. Fascinating operation. They'd either set up next to a hay barn where the stalks were blown straight into the barn, or blown into a pile for a stationary baler to set up next to and make bales.
@@dangerrangerlstc very close, but not far back enough, before there was horse drawn binders/shockers, grain/corn was hand cut with a sickle/scythe and put into shives/shocks, then separated by husking/threshed in the barn floor or on the ground with a wooden flail and separated from the chaff by tossing in the air. Rember the gospel song text ''bringing in the shives''?. as a now 77-year-old farm kid i did it with my grand father.
@@pnuttheclownh2254 very very close, but back in my day the wheel whirabilly and dingle whatchamacallits did the draw horses a big whammy. No one liked that, so we combined the whirabilly with the thingamajigaliggles and put them through the barongas. This allowed us to whoop the shutes in line without the problem of the whirabilly getting stuck in the dingle and causing the draw horses a big whammy. This is why we call it a combine.
@@NoobNoobNews you win. 🏆
"Combine" is from combining threshing and separating.
Love your knowledge and explanation of the differences. Great job.
This is the first time seeing the Nexat in working mode, Just seen pictures of it up to now. Very impressive and Very Cool. Thanks for sharing this video. I'm a old farm kid from upstate NY, Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought of a Machine like this. I think the future of farming is bright and this here Nexat shows that. Thanks again for the video.
Thanks for the great video keep up the great work you do for farming
Despite having seen other videos of the nexat previously Emma, your presentation and interviewing skils were proffesional, informative and entertaining, well done on securing this exciting opportunity to help publicise this fascinating new tech.
No, she was nervous, awkward with technical wording and generally bland. Meanwhile your spelling and sycophantic, ott endorsements are pathetic.
@@Dr.IanPlect l,m so sorry fir upsetting you with my comment doctor toss pot, if you can leave me your contact details l,ll seek your oermission to uae the written word in public in future xxxx
@@roblonsdale8927 The sewer rat is muted.
11:25 She was flirting with the German Guy, I found that touching.
It's fun to get to see something just invented. I was lucky to see the first Babybird (baby ventilator) at the University of Texas in Galveston outside of clinical trials at the factory.
Thanks Emma for sharing the video. Rotor, like a Gleaner.
People seem to forget this machine was in the first place designed for controlled traffic farming (CTF). The need to carry multiple tools arose from that, being multi functional just to replace equipment wasn't the main goal.
For people who wonder: normal Controlled traffic Farming basically means you use the same tracks year in year out to reduce the effect that the weight of the vehicles has on the soil. you use the same tracks year in year out and try to match all your working spans so that you can use the same tracks and get full coverage of your soil. Now when you get a vehicle that has a wheel on either end of the working width instead of 2 in the center - you can already guess it - you can use the same track for 2 passes. this reduces the quota of condensed soil from 15 % (Normal CTF) to 10 %.
Vary cool Emma! Thanks. Have a Great New Year!
Happy New Year Ema! So happy to see your first posting on You Tube in 2023! Good luck on a new farm season and stay safe! LG :-D
In the years I've been involved in agriculture (I'm 73) I have seen major changes in the technology serving farms and farmers. This is just another step to increased efficiency and production. Look forward to seeing this in fields. Thank you for posting this, Emma!
Actually, it's a platform. On its basis, you can use anything. But this will probably be developed later as additional modules. I know the person who proposed this project in Germany. I just live in the same city with him and we talked before. Therefore, these platforms also exist in Ukraine.
Wow watching that thing bearing down at the end was an awesome view. Great report too.
Growing up in a small rural Missouri Bootheel farming town, this is amazing.
Ive got to demo and use some very cool equipment in the past couple years, but this is for sure on my list! very jealous. Good Job
Love the 'outside the box' thinking that went behind the design of the Nexat. Hope this company has much success in the future.
The design isn't new. First machines builded in this way was developed in XIX century, but they was too weak. Then in 1970's something like this was developed m.th-cam.com/video/rtHPpGlaTu8/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUPdGltb3RoZXVzY2hhbWVu
Nexat is "only" using new technologies to bring back old ideas
I absolutely love the view of the header this cab gives instead of being behind it
I loved seeing the Stars and Stripes flying on the back. Thats respectful from the folks testing here in the states. Thanks for the content!
Cool video Emma. Congrats on getting to run the machine.
I am not a farmer , but I live amongst a bunch outside of Edmonton Alberta. I hope u pass along to the engineers that when they start selling them in North America, they make them maintainable by the farmers by providing them with access to software and diagnostic tools. JD has a lock on those things and won't allow farmers to do their own maintenance. A new competitor on the block might make them rethink that strategy.
Their in the middle of a lawsuit right now. Farmers are suing for right to repair and maintain john deer equipment. I hope they win. But also john deer has deactivated john deer equipment in Ukraine that has been captured or is in contested areas. So apparently JD can flip a killswitch and make your machine not even start.
@@AtticusAureliusTrottimus they all have that, John Deere is the only one who used it. But I hope they win the right to repair it, but good luck trying to work on them without a full shop and special tools. They’re going to be really pissed when they break something they can’t fix and have to bring it into us. These are the most advanced pieces of equipment that I’ve worked on that a normal person can just go buy. They’re up there with aircraft.
Nobody but internet dorks gives two shits about that. Screeching turbonerds are so pathetically predictable.
Unfortunately Right To Repair is something that gets crippled by every corporation out there. Its why there is a thriving underground market for pirated software and handmade guides for fixing shit that gets crippled by proprietary crap when you want to fix a broken component.
Update: Farmers won. AG retailers/dealerships will be able to work on JD equipment and vehicles. Farmers can also buy the tools needed to access compartments etc directly from JD. Weeeee!
Cool to see new technology coming up! Thank you!!
That is awesome been looking forward seeing more about this machine. Thanks for the video.
That design should stop cab corn at least.
laughed out loud at this 😂
I hate when my cab gets corned.
lol you haven't seen my handywork... "hold my beer..."
I'm pretty sure that side gate would blast the whole cab right off if it opened up at the wrong time.
The engineering is certainly amazing.🤙
Hahahahahaha that's Flippin hilarious
I have wondered when a US youtuber would get a chance to trial one of these machines, quite a win for you. Comparison of prices, repair parts costs, and expected lifespan vs conventional John Deere/Case/etc combines would be a good follow up -- basically how do the numbers work out for farmers considering replacements.
I'd like to learn about durability, too. I see a lot of highly-loaded small-diameter pivot points.
probably going to be a very complicated comparison unless the machine is being used exclusively as a harvester. From what she said at the beginning it can also be used as a seeder or sprayer.
Every mode will probably ware different components and different implement loads/soil conditions could have a major impact on engine & undercarriage life.
Nexat sell their product in package, so one 1100hp tractor will have at least 3 modules, seed planters module, harvester module and sprayer module, and it said will cost around 2M$ per package
@@mawasorangutan have they announced a projected market launch?
@NOS they've sold several package units in Europe & probably north America soon, the module included in the package also vary, depend on customer request, they've build liquid manure module for one of their customer in Scandinavia
That's pretty cool. Fantastic engineering development, great video 👍
id like to know how much cheaper it was than two combines,,,,and how you load it on a trailer to go down the highway and under bridges to distant fields,,also, id like to see it flex to follow uneven ground or humps in the field,,,what is the cost and what engine is in it
@@bill45colt Well, there are videos of it driving down the highway. You don't need a trailer, or to detach the head, so it's actually easier and quicker to move than a standard combine. As for cost, it's still in development and isn't actually available to buy yet, so we don't know the cost.
@@tipperarymick5337 i was thinking of how you move it to another farm 200 miles away,,,doesnt seem too practical to drive it there, nor to another state if you are in contract harvesting,,,,combines mostly are hauled by trucks,,,id like to see this on a truck,,,,but if you want to drive it from texas to north dakota as the crop ripens then thats fine with me. I just cant imagine it going along the interstate at 70mph,,
@@bill45colt I think this will be experimental for a long time and conventional combines will also be around for a long time. Besides, this unit made it to South Dakota somehow. And it will be produced in several sizes, supposedly 20' to 80'
WOW Emma, that was great. Love your channel
Awesome video Emma. I'm not in the ag business but love machines and equipment. This thing is huge! A 20 row header! I enjoyed every minute of this 😊🇺🇸
Is it one transverse rotor spinning the same direction all the way across the machine, or two spinning in opposite directions? It's a fascinating machine. Definitely an upgrade from my 1460.
I work for a European ag manufacturer. The cup holder thing is a complete mystery to them. We brought out a new machine a few years ago. The first thing all of us from North America said, “there’s no cup holder”. One of the engineers said always with cup holder on your side of the ocean.
why do you need a cup holder ,honest question ,cannot see the point
@@johnwaddell7239we run harvesters 24 Hrs a day for weeks... People get thirsty since the live in the cabs for 12 hrs a shift.
@@johnwaddell7239do you not get thirsty after a couple hours?
My son worked for Audi and it took forever to put cup holders in there car's because "THEY" don't eat and drink in there car's.....But they had cigarette lighters and ashtrays.
Great experience- thanks for sharing
Great video. Birdseye view!! Impressive machine.
What is the header loss like on the Nexat compared to a standard combine? When you were drawing in the dirt, it looked really clean behind it.
Cool machine. I wonder what header ,sieve ,and rotor losses are like compared to regular combine.
Looks like a MacDon head so that should be the same as Traditional combines. The rest will be interesting.
@@indianaoutdoors4379 actually it's a Geringhoff, same as the grain head.. the head of the company previously also worked for Geringhoff
With this Machine being German Built in Germany this machine quality will be MUCH MUCH BETTER than John Deere, Case IH !!
1 Modular machine to PLANT, SPRAY, & HARVEST in 1 Machine on Tracks & Wide thus virtually eliminating Compaction !!!
BRAVO TO GERMAN ENGINEERING !!
BEST IN THE WORLD !!
So, so cool! Lucky gal to get to hang out with the monster! You make me smile!
Thanks for sharing. That is one of the most incredible machines I’ve ever seen. It’s absolutely a marvel of modern design and mechanics.
Germans do indeed build great stuff. The new farming technologies are utterly fascinating and a bit mind-blowing.
This is absolutely fascinating! My parents have a book entitled "This Was Wheat Farming" featuring a history of wheat farming particularly in the Pacific Northwest Palouse Region. I'm guessing it was published in the very late 1950's or very early 1960's. At the end of the book were some space age concept drawings of what designers thought at the time a combine might look like in the distant future and there actually was a combine concept very similar to this that ran sideways in the field and the wheels could be turned the other way so highway transport or driving could be possible. Never thought it would come to reality. On that note, I would be very interested to see how this machine would function on the steep, rolling hills of the Washington State Palouse Region. A challenge that threshing mechanisms can have there is when the sieves are sloped sideways, their efficiency drops because the material bunches to one side and grain loss occurs. The rotaries may not be affected by this. We didn't have any experience with the rotary mechanism when we farmed there back in the 1980's and early '90's. We used the old concave and cylinder design and hillsides adversely affected them like the grain sieve. Combine levellers solved that problem. Not sure how that would work with this design.
i lived in wheat country in the PNW. the rolling hills of the columbia river basin are pretty insane. tons of areas that you can't even grow in because they are like 30 foot hills with 45 degree drop offs in the middle of a wheat field.
@@skraminc I visited an area just a little west of Colfax, WA where the hills were so steep, we probably wouldn't have farmed them because a hill like that wasn't very common, so I know what you mean for sure.
Why caint we all get along .
Be happy, love,and laugh .
Nice to see smiles.
Great to see this amazing machine working. I think it has great potential for low compaction farming.
Thank you and happy new year to you.
Developing this from the ground up and bringing it to market is a very hard task for a start up in the very established AG business.
I wonder if one one of the big 3 (John Deere, CNH or AGCO) or another established AG business e.g. Claas will take over the company at some time. Or maybe one of their current AG equipment partners like Väderstad, DAMMANN and/or Geringhoff will invest in this company.
As of the currently ongoing Agritechnica exhibit in Hanover Germany, Nexat announced a cooperate partnership with the EW Group (world market leader in breeding and genetics of poultry and tilapia) which also bought minority shares in the Nexat company.
I always liked German engineering in agricultural
Over engineered junk.
@@toddgittins5692 What'S wrong with you? Youz must be a hater of Germany and the Germans. Just try to change your Mindset! Every technical development was initially dismissed as too much or unnecessary, but eventually, when it runs smoothly, everyone uses it. Just think of jet turbines. ABS or airbags in cars, etc. And except for the garbage that comes from your ignorant thinking, no garbage has come from Germany. If it would be like this, Germany would not be so successful in the field of agricultural products.
That is quite a machine!! Love to see it running
Good to hear from you again
I remember seeing a machine similar in a copy of a 1960s future look at harvesting it was an International Harvester Magazine. It was claimed to be nuclear picked and dried at the same time.
Yep, the concept is almost 200 years old. Gantry or wide-span vehicles. Up until now it has always failed due to complexity, but nowadays it's very possible to do it.
My father-in-law worked in the R&D at White Farm when they were developing the axial-flow technology which changed how crops were processed thru the combine. This takes it to another level.
Love it.. thanks for sharing ma’am. Happy new year and God bless. Keep up the great content. Hope your feeling better.
Happy New Year Em and Thanks for the Great Video Em and keep up the super work you do for farming. Looking forward to your 2023 videos.
GERMANY❤❤💪💪💪💪💪💪
That's a very interesting machine. However, I see waaay too many things to fail during harvest.
Like any new and innovative idea, it needs to be developed further and of course mistakes and problems will occur. But if everything thought like you, not accepting new things and giving them a chance, we would still be traveling with horse-drawn carriages and communicating with smoke signals. And please name me one new and modern machine and not only in agriculture, where no problems occur.
It's not that. Combines have been around for a long time and still nearly 100% of them fail one way or another in the first year. It is farm equipment, it will break. Sometimes spectacularly. Technology wont stop that thing from operator error, eating a missed rock, or bearing failure, etc.
Awesome machine…great job Emma
Looking forward to see this machine in Brazil
Awesome video again Emma looks like a fantastic machine. Hope you have a fantastic New year 😊.
The end of the family farm is near.
Du labbers doch scheisse. Das erleichtert alles und mach es effizienter
i doubt that. farming will never have good profit margins like manufacturing industry
if the end of the family farm was near it would have already happened, machines are big enough to do it
If you watch much ag on TH-cam, you will realize there are still a lot of family farms. But they have gotten quite a lot larger than they used to be. Yes, there are also big corporation farms as well, and the small family farm is dwindling. You just have to have a lot more acreage in play than 100 years ago to be profitable enough. And one thing that helps that along is big, expensive equipment and increased efficiency.
It's been gone
Did you find this comment in a time capsule in the 80's?
A pretty amazing machine. Thanks for sharing it with us.
That was cool thanks for sharing such an amazing piece of equipment!
Great job and the content is good. Hope you enjoy playing with the new machine
Very interesting. Thank you for your great video. Cool that you got to to operate it 👍
These Nexat machines are amazing and revolutionary. They aren't just combines. They are modular machines to fit seed drills and various other types of tools on them. Somebody introduced me to one a few months ago. Its so different from a tractor or combine harvester. They can drive themselves as well without need for an operator.
Very good video Emma. Very interesting concept. The idea of quick fold up for moving sounds great. Especially in the east heavy road traffic,city slickers,small Fields etc. No doubt there will be growing pains.
Ever since I saw those machine I've love them...don't know why but so interesting!
My view is this is the precursor to total automation of all (or most) farming operations. Not so much the harvesting operation (or self-propelled spraying), but any planting or tillage not being pulled by a tractor is a benefit for autonomous operations. Backing up a pulled implement could be one of the more difficult things to require a totally automated machine to accomplish. Since the NEXAT is the tool carrier for everything, it eliminates pulling. The limiting compaction could be an intended purpose or unintended benefit. Interesting to see how farming operations that adopt the NEXAT or similar implements would possibly "standardize" fields to maximize the efficiency of the one machine that does most of the major field operations. Thank you Emma for taking the time to travel to see the operation of the machine and making the video.
What an incredible experience this must have been! Thank you for sharing! Excited to potentially see one of these in a field near me. Within a decade haha.
That's awesome, thank you!
Good for you getting that interview
as an aussie ,i think those germans are very smart to select you as their advocate . and liaison, go between . you're very good at what you do thanks . all the best to you all. i bet they've got your manufacturers like deere etc's full attention
Great overview. Thanks for sharing this
Very cool! Thank you for sharing.
Hi Emma! This was the first video of yours I saw and it was incredible. I'm about to get into the farming world and learn about all the farm machinery and seeing this was really amazing because I've never driven any farm machinery yet, not even a tractor, and knowing that this type of technology exists is great. Greetings from Australia from an Argentinian.
Very cool Emma. Years from now you can point to a machine like that and tell your grandchildren you operated the first one in the country. 😁
Emma,very cool and interesting and informational video. Amazing technology and a future tool comming to our farms.
What a time to be alive!
Wow! You lucked out. This is some crazy machine!
Great stuff Emma. I am certainly intrigued by what this technology can bring to some American farmers, but I doubt that I will live long enough to see it in practice. I can't begin to comprehend the changes you will see in your lifetime. Dream big and live large.
Just found your channel via the NEXAT tag! Great channel Emma!
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Great video Emma!! Thank you and Happy New Year’s.
Looks like an all purpose machine. I got to experience life in Germany and enjoyed it
The coolest thing in agriculture machinery, you rock girly and you earned a sub!
Awesome you got the chance to run that beast!
Very informative! Thank you. 😊
Wow good job 👍 thank for sharing video
So glad to see the Nexat in NA I think it’s an awesome idea
WOAH. I have never seen a combine like this. So cool.
Wow! That’s really amazing
